How do you convert files to ZIP?

Post by Deltaflyer »

I wish to upload my juggernaught to the database, however, it is too large in filesize to go in. Can someone please post and tell me how to convert into a Zip file? I know that compresses things but I just cannot find how.

Thanks in advance,

-delta.

Download and install WinZip or any other alternative (WinRAR, 7zip, etc).
Right click file/directory and select "Add to ___.zip"

You didn't state which O/S so I am going to assume WinXP - in Windows Explorer, right-click on the file(s) you want zipped, Send To - Compressed (zipped) Folder. It gets treated like a folder so you can drag and drop files into and out of the zip file.

There are also plenty of freeware programs to create and manage zip files as well (eg. 7-zip).

(edit) - argh, beaten by one minute - got to type faster. :D
